fastcache is a simple response caching package that plugs into fastglue. The
Cached()
middleware can be wrapped around fastglue GET handlers that need to serve
cached bytes for a request.
The ClearGroup()
handler is meant for invalidating cache, for
wrapping POST / PUT / DELETE handlers. It supports arbitrary backend storage implementations and ships with redigo/go-redis store implementations.
All cached items are saved under a namespace. For authenticated calls, this is most commonly the user ID. So, all GET requests for a user XX1234 like orders, marketwatch, profile etc. may be namespaced under a XX1234 key in the store.
fastcache.Options.NamespaceKey
is the name of the key that'll have the name of the namespace in a RequestCtx.UserValue(NamespaceKey)
. This UserValue should be set by another middleware, such as the auth middleware, before the Cached()
middleware is executed. For example, RequestCtx.SetUerValue("user_id", "XX1234")
where user_id
is the NamespaceKey. For handlers with params like /orders/:user_id
, this is taken care of by the router.
Cache for different URIs of the same type can be grouped under a single name so that the cache for a group can be deleted in one go when something changes. For instance, orders and tradebook handlers can be grouped "orders" and different marketwatch calls can be grouped under "mw".
Cached()
is the middleware for GET calls that does caching, 304 serving etc.
ClearGroup()
is middleware handlers for POST / PUT / DELETE methods that are meant to clear cache for GET calls.
The .Del()
and .DelGroup()
can be used to manually clear cached items when handler based clearing isn't sufficient.
